  • Joanna,

    Please hurry up with the Allison Janney slash. Some of us have unemployment looming up in four hours, and we need something to keep our hands occupied.

    I thought we were still bickering about whether the homosexual agenda would be bound in hot pink tulle, butch lesbotic lavender leather or an all-inclusive rainbow melange that would char-grill retinas at a hundred paces?

    "Rugby was a problem for us for years," Mark explained. "But once our insider in the NZRFU persuaded them to try to market the game to 'straight women', we were set. Why do you think they train in swimming pools? The 2.0 model was doing really well too, but it seems to have some kind of design fault in the shoulders. We're working on it.

    You my friend, are nothing short of a legend.

    So my time to undermine the Master was limited. This job was so important it would push even writing Allison Janney slash-fic onto the back burner. (Coincidentally, 'Allison Janney' is item #124 on the Agenda, just after 'make John Barrowman Minister of Foreign Affairs'.)

    Hands off my Barrowman. If he's going to be anyone's Minister he's going to be mine.

    By which I mean the UK. Really.

    Print on Demand. Mine is black leather and bound with o-rings.

    If he's going to be anyone's Minister he's going to be mine.

    Fortunately, I believe the effect of the man would be so wide-spread it doesn't really matter which country he's officially working for. I'm hoping they cast him as Captain America, that would be fabulous .

    Hm. Make him Secretary General of the UN? Nah, that wouldn't work. I'm liking your idea more.

    Gods yes. I might die of fangirl *squee* if they do that however. Which would be a mite embarrassing.

    This was supposed to be top secret!

    In punishment for betraying our plot, you will never find another decent hairdresser or interior designer again!

    In the Who-verse, I don't know if you'd want to get any further up the greasy pole. Prime Ministers don't have a long shelf life: They get gutted for Slitheen couture, deposed by one pissy Time Lord and replaced by another crazy one, gets shot after assassinating the POTUS on live television, or exterminated by Daleks. I'm certainly not taking bets that latest incumbent (in Torchwood: Children of Earth) is going to die in his bed of natural causes at a good old age. :)

    Thank you for reminding me I need to Sky+ that.

    And yes, they don't seem to last very long, but then you have to remember the spoilery thing about Jack that I'm sure if I post I'll get yelled at for because its just my luck.

    I have a secret stash of bandwidth set aside. And some days I won't be leaving the house or something. Four in four days, wtf?

    Thought it was five in five. Saves me from cliffhangers anyway. The week between the last two parts of the last season of Who nearly KILLED ME.

  • Angus Robertson,

    I mean, forty years since Stonewall, what could be left to do?

    Nothing more, in fact I'd like to raise a request with teh gayz conspiracy that they stop the NZ movement right here, right now.

    In Europe queer activism has charged straight across the political spectrum from the left so fast that is now proceeding out the other side. Seems every damned far right, immigrant bashing, xenphobic political party in Europe has a gay or gay-er or gay friendly leader.

    Mind you it must screw with Ian Wishart on so many levels: "Invigilate reports on the scary barbarian immigrants of Europe and applauds the stance taken by Pym Fortuy...(oops no)...Jorg Haid...(oh really?)...Geert Wilde...(he supports what?!)." So I suppose it is slightly funny.

    This was what tipped me off that we were hitting the end of times:

    Previously Tamaki has claimed to have exorcised the "homosexual spirit" from parishioners. But he now says he has adopted a greater openness and cites conversations he has had with airline cabin stewards as proof.

    Ah yes, Gayrobics.

    If you're curious, you can watch a gay exercism here. Not for the faint-hearted, or the weak-stomached, or the easily-indignified.

    Indeed. You really shouldn't be drinking pretentious cocktails in church.

    Yesterday the homosexual spirit was Talisker, at the Matterhorn.

    Emma, I think you are onto something here. But I don't think I'll be watching the doco anyway. Because I'm flying down to Chch on Saturday, and, you know, I would hate to be caught talking to airline stewards.

    Yes, I overheard Brian and a charming lesbian cabin steward agreeing "a muff is enough" only the other day

    F'n'ay. And of course Helen was right before - the 6th til the 10th is FIVE days, not four. Yay for Emma's intrinsic maths skills.

    Not that we would be encouraging or condoning any kind of illegal activity. Demonstrably I do have Friends in England.

    clearly we share the same friends who record the shows on vcr and then post them to us.
